I found that this really is a Java bug. See the attached code example, run it
with different LC_CTYPEs and watch the results.
OpenJDK maintainers: I see that the bug was forwarded to Sun's bugtracker.
However, it has been marked as duplicate of another bug, which seems a totally
different bug to me, and marked as fixed. However, the bug's evidently still
there. Do you know whether there's some progress on this side?
Ansgar: I could just trick the wrapper into setting LC_* variables. I see
that with:
$ LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=C josm
I no longer have messages in English (as LC_CTYPE=C would imply), but in
Italian. It seems that LC_ALL has higher priority over LC_CTYPE. Please
continue discussion on the cloned bug number :)
Kindly,
David
